Overview

​

Throughout the summer of 2021 I worked full time with the very small tourism department of Kingsville, ON. I was responsible for:

 

• Marketing public events in Kingsville and the Windsor-Essex Region tourism

• Creative directing for new events and spring campaigns

• Improving the UX of Kingsville's' municipal website

• Technical writing for new Experiential Tourism Packages 

• Weekly graphic design and social media scheduling for summer programs

​

Taking on Additional Roles

After the first quarter of my position, I became more involved with interpersonal roles, as COVID restrictions were leading to more in-person tourism efforts. 

​

This was a great experience, as I learned to manage my individual projects while contributing to the tourism scene in ways that make people want to come back. 

 

On Saturday afternoons and evenings, I worked with the Kingsville's Tourism Team and Parks and Recreation Department to support one of my favourite local events, Kingsville's weekly "Open Streets."  

 

During Saturday's downtown Open Streets festivities, my roles were split between:

• Tourism Information Guide

• Art Gallery attendant

• Runner who could practically support the flow of events each week

 

Weekends were fast-paced and exciting with this added responsibility. I absolutely loved getting to greet people, pitch our regional attractions, and even contribute to the sales of a few paintings by local artists
